I knew this thread would be about this guy before I opened it up. I watching the fight network the other day and there was a fight of this guy's on there, and he threw a few of these and the announcers kept talking about his kicks the whole match. Things are fucking weird... it like psychs you out into thinking it's coming one way, then spins around and cracks you in another

mine are so bad that they get deceptive. Mine look low, but carry over a little higher. They look exactly like the ugly ass kick that Herring laid Nog out with.

wait, what is Brazilian about the kick? video played too choppy for me to see what was different.

You kick as to trick the guy into thinking it's a low kick (the fake) ,then you readjust it so it aims to the head (the real). However, the "real" kick is not the same as high kick. If you look at the video, the "real" kick angles downward, like a whip.

Yes the common name for this kick is the Brazilian Kick, regardless of its origins. The Brazilians call it the neck kick, and everyone else calls it the Brazilian Kick (even the Japanese). Mainly from Brazilian karatekas like Ademir Da Costa, then Francisco Filho, and more recently Glaube Feitosa.
